Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 160 lands the Packers a B-, Jones Jr. and all.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Emery Jones Jr. fell into the Round 5 slot.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Evans pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 23 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They liked Tate Ratledge enough to skip the value, taking him in the 54th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Value with a capital V on Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
They reached a country mile for Mitchell Evans at Round 4, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Circle this one: Emery Jones Jr. at slot 160 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Good price on Kyle Williams in the 200th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
They robbed the room for Jonas Sanker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
You do not let a running back like Jarquez Hunter reach No. 251 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
